Ayesha Curry says she 'got the most botched boob job on the face of the planet' amid lingering postpartum depression

Ayesha Curry says a plastic surgery procedure she underwent amid postpartum depression resulted in 'the most botched boob job on the face of the planet.'

The mother-of-three - to daughters Riley, six, and Ryan, three, and son Canon, 10 months - with her husband, NBA superstar Steph Curry, told Working Mother she 'made a rash decision' in going through with the procedure on her breasts in the wake of giving birth to Ryan in 2015.

'I didn't realize at the time, but after having Ryan, I was battling a bit of postpartum that lingered for a while,' she said. 'It came in the form of me being depressed about my body.'

The Toronto, Canada-born beauty, 30, said her 'intention was just to have them lifted,' but the final result was 'these bigger boobs [she] didn't want,' adding that 'they're worse now than they were before.'

Ayesha said that while she'd 'never do anything like that again,' she doesn't discourage women from doing what they want to do.

'I'm an advocate of, if something makes you happy, who cares about the judgment?' she said.

Elsewhere in the feature, Ayesha opened up about balancing parenthood with her professional endeavors, including her Food Network show Ayesha's Homemade, partnerships with CoverGirl and The Honest Company, and her restaurateur endeavors with her International Smoke chain.

To each her own: Ayesha said in regards to the surgery that while she'd 'never do anything like that again,' she doesn't discourage women from doing what they want to do

'If you're a stay-at-home mom and that's what you love to do, that's a beautiful thing,' she said. 'But on the flip side, if you have a passion, I think you're doing yourself and your children an injustice by not showing them that you're capable of doing both in some capacity, whether it's a hobby or a day-to-day job.'

Ayesha's remarks to the publication came in the wake of her recent appearance on Red Table Talk, in which she opened up about being married to the perennial All-Star amid a sea of flirty female fans.

'Something that really bothers me, and honestly has given me a sense of a little bit of an insecurity, is the fact that yeah, there are all these women, like, throwing themselves [at him], but me, like the past 10 years, I don't have any of that,' Ayesha said. 'I have zero - this sounds weird - but, like, male attention, and so then I begin to internalize it, and I'm like, "Is something wrong with me?"'

Ayesha's candor created a stir online, and her husband was among her loudest boosters following its release. Steph - who is currently preparing for the league's Western Conference Finals leading his Golden State Warriors against the Portland Trail Blazers - took to Instagram Stories with a message of support for his spouse.

The 31-year-old said she was 'proud' of his wife's authenticity and fearlessness in her chat on Jada Pinkett's YouTube show. He said, 'Way more positive than negative with all of this ...keep being you. I love you.'
